Sovereignty: Political Inquiry

Bertrand de Jouvenel explores the concepts of authority, the political good, the sovereign, and liberty in search of answers to fundamental questions. He delves into the nature and history of authority, examining who ultimately decides and holds sovereignty. His aim is to define and comprehend the guidelines for public authority in a dynamic society. Specifically, he focuses on the prospects for individual liberty in democratic societies where sovereignty supposedly resides in the whole body politic.

Daniel J. Mahoney, an Associate Professor of Politics at Assumption College, and David DesRosiers, the Executive Vice President at the Manhattan Institute, lend their expertise in the analysis of Jouvenel's work. They contribute to the discussion surrounding the importance of these questions and provide insights into their implications for society.
